A Caged Songbird's Escape: Into the Arms of a Predator novel Chapter 521

Rowan kissed her with a desperate intensity.

It was as if he wanted to devour her whole.

Elissa finally understood.

When he had said they were going to sleep together, he meant *this* kind of sleeping.

She could clearly feel his raw desire, and lost in the intoxicating haze of his kiss, she couldn't help but gasp his name. "Rowan..."

"Yeah, I'm right here."

As he spoke, his lips trailed down to her collarbone, dropping soft, teasing bites as he mapped his way lower.

He only stopped when she began to tremble, a stray tear of overwhelming sensation slipping from the corner of her eye.

But he didn't give her a moment to catch her breath, taking her hand and guiding it to the searing heat of his own need.

Elissa knew he was holding back because of the baby, terrified of hurting her.

Even so, he had prioritized her pleasure over his own release.

In a dazed haze, she thought to herself that next time...

She would tell him it was okay.

Her body was strong enough to handle it.

Since they were the only ones on the second floor, Elissa kicked Rowan back to his own room the moment she woke up the next morning.

No one had any idea they had spent the entire night wrapped in each other's arms.

By the time Elissa came downstairs, Rowan was already dressed in a crisp, custom-tailored black suit. He sat at the dining table, looking effortlessly sharp as he teased her. "Finally awake? We've been waiting on you for breakfast."

"..."

Elissa mentally rolled her eyes at his perfectly innocent facade, but flashed a sweet smile for Janice Garrett's benefit. "I'm up."

She then turned to the older woman. "Janice, you shouldn't have waited for me. You should have eaten."

"This brat is just messing with you."
